What high school did you go to?

Why John Jay?

I chose John Jay because its role as a leading institution in the field of forensic science, its incomparable research opportunities, and its prime location in the heart of New York City. I was accepted into the Macaulay Honors program, and the community of my cohort in that program and the opportunities were too good to pass up.
